If we aren’t getting a single top 25-50 prospect, I would want a bit more quantity of lesser but still good quality prospects:
Walcott, Porter, Leiter, and Foscue.
The Yankees sure do seem to think Spencer Jones will be the next Mantle / Judge so it doesn’t seem like they will give him up. I think they would sign or trade for another starter before giving him up if Getz demands him.
Cease’s final line:
3.1 innings, 2 hits, 1 earned run (solo shot by Jonathan India), 1 BB, 8 strikeouts.
With the newly rumored trade interest in Cease, Getz is nuts if he lets him start another game in a White Sox uniform.
Man, we all just missed something we will never see in the regular season due to this game not being televised…
Back-to-back walks by Maldonado and Lopez. ?
I wouldn’t, but damn would another 2 to 3 strikeout scoreless inning would be nice to shove in the faces of the interested teams (Yankees, Rangers, etc.).
This is true and Thome was great for the Sox, but it was most definitely more about Kenny hating Frank at the time.
